I’ll be on Checking on the Arts with Kaky Walton, along with the super talented Melissa Bridgeman, on Monday December 7 at 3:49 pm discussing our plans for holiday sales this year. Give a listen on WKNO Radio FM 91.1, ok? Or after air date, check for link to listen below.
Send me a message or give me a call at 901-828-3685 if you are interested in adding a little something exotic and tropical to your holidays! I’ll be posting some photos and info over the next few weeks, too.
I have a terrarium in the upcoming exhibit, Homeward Bound, opening Friday December 14, 2018, at Crosstown Arts, reception 6-8 pm
You can read more about the exhibit here: Homeward Bound
Although all terries are homes, the piece I submitted is a memory of an imaginary home I’ve visited many times since I was a lonely kid with my nose in a book. “Mermaid’s Cove “ was almost like a nightclub in JM Barrie’s Peter Pan, where Peter would go play with the flirtatious sea maidens, leaving Wendy at home to feed the Lost Boys and get them to bed.
This is a young terrarium, still in its first growth; it will need careful trimming to maintain the design over the years. This is the piece which I planted this summer on The Family Plot television show. You can view the segment here Nancy Builds a Terry on The Family Plot
About six weeks after planting, I began shaping the terrain and adding details
Here she is in mid-September, three months old. You will see how much more she has grown by December, and will need to be trimmed by the end of the exhibit.
If you want to learn more about these fascinating creations or get one of your own, you can send me an email or call 901-828-3685. Come to my Open House Show and Sale on Sunday December 16 from noon to four p.m., too, at 700 North Belvedere in Midtown.

Here are some of the little jewels I’ve been working on this year. Come meet them at my Open House on December 17, from noon to 4 pm, at 700 North Belvedere. Call me at 901-828-3685 with any questions. Ya’ll come!
Nancy
This guy is heavy, about 18inches in diameter and will need a good sized space. It is in an antique glass cake carrying case, too not pictured. It will require some trimming and will be better for someone with a moderate level of plant proficiency. Antique glass with exotic plants, and a moss covered castle! $250
Detail of eyelash begonia and begonia capanensis
Some terry babies, with crystal geodes and moss, tightly sealed, dry low maintenance. 4 inches tall, perfect for desktop or windowsill
A simple terry baby, a little moss and crystal, 3 inches
Tillandsias filifolia ear muffs for winter in tropics
Lucious ten inch bubble bowl, with neoregelia, ruby red spike moss selaginella, tillandsias filifolia, feather moss, tillandsias bulbosaaverage cost for 10 inch
Peacock moss selaginella and feather moss, what a great green idea. 8 inches tall, $30
Another terry baby, five inch, sealed, cushion moss and crystal cluster
It’s that time again, what with the cold and gray of winter descending on us, to get a little green to brighten your home or office. Terrariums are great gifts for anyone who likes nature (and, really, who doesn’t like nature?) and particularly for us urban dwellers, with no space or time to garden.
Come see me Sunday December 18, from noon to four pm, and I’ll help you pick just the right creation, whether simple and low maintenance for the novice, or more elaborate for a plant enthusiast to trim and train.
Seeking something truly unique? Think kokedama!
And that’s not all! Alisa Botto will be here with some photos from her Suburban Skies series, and they’re fabulous!
I’ll be cooking some nibbles, too, and hope you can come share some holiday cheer. Check it all out below, send me a message, or call me at 901-828-3685 for more information. Ya’ll Come!
